Acted as His Own Lawyer-A Damage
Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX, May 17.-An interest
ing trial occurred in the District court to-
day and attracted large crowd of Wis
itors to the court room. The case was
one in which a man by the name of Bob
MCWhorter was charged with the theft Of
two horses from J. A. Mcneil, near Col
linsville, during last winter. McVhorter
has been confined in jail since his prelim-
mary trial, shortly after the horses were
stolen. He was brought into court sew
eral days ago to have counsel appointed
to defend him, but not being able TO
swear that he had no means with which
to employ lawyer, was refused counsel
by the court and acted as his own lawyer,
in having attachments issued for Wit
Resses, and defende d his OWE case before
the jury to-day, making long and
well delivered speech, appeal
Ing to the jury to acquit him.
He said that he obtained the horses in a
legitimate manner, traded for them, but
that he could not find the witnesses by
whom he could prove his innocence. The
case was gwen to the Jury late IN the
forenoon and verdict was agreed upon
in less than twenty minutes, finding Nc
Whorter guilty, and assessing his pun
ishment at ten years in the penitentiary.
The case of A. A. Bailey vs.. the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway for damages to
sheep while in transit on the cars to Chi
cago, was tried in the County court to-
day, the plaintiff being being awarded
$500 damages by the Jury.

A MINE OF COINED SILVER.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Financial Sec
rotary for India has advised the govern
ment of the discovery of an immense
amount of treasure, estimated st $685.
100000, which had been secreted in Pat
do-Givolior by the late Mahara jan
Trenches had been sunk in pits under a
vault beneath the Zenars. The secret
was Entrusted to few confidential ser
wants. The Secretary was present
when the treasure was unearthed.
After removing the earth to the depth of
six feet, the workmen uncovered great
fagstones. Beneath these were several
pits filed to the brim with silver, chiefly
freshly coined rupees. In each pit was 8
plate recording the amount of the treas
IRE and the names of the officials who as
sisted in secreting it. The Indian govern
ment has taken the hoard as q
loan from young Maharajah. The
native papers protest against this
action. They declare that had the
Maharajah been adult instead under re-
gency controlled by the government he
would never have invested his whole
wealth in Indian securities. The question
will be raised in Parliament as to whether
the investment can be known under any
other name than that of seizure.

KING AND POPE.

FLORENCE, May 17.-Signor Fszzari, a
member of the Chamber of Deputies,
writes to L. A. Malone that~he believes
the entente between Italy and the Vatican
could easily be attained if the Pope
would direct the ecclesiastical authorities
Of ths Vatican to support at the next
election, for the Chamber of Deputies,
candidates fsvoring such reconciliation.
The writer says King Humbert is power
less to act, unless public opinion points
the way. 1t is necessary that the Pope,
continuing his policy of Cancellation,
should so act as to make possible the
election of large majority who favor
reconciliation. The moment has come
for decisive action. Let the Pope take
the initiative and Italy will be grateful to
him. The letter of SignOr Fazzari has
been much discussed in parliamentary
circles in Rome.

of the representatives of the variou
trades at the Builders Exchange to
morrow. Three delegates will be preserr
from each trade and g code of laN=
for the government of employer aud
employe will then be perfected. A master
mason who has taken an active part n
the proceedings of his association said
the code smopg other things would in
sist on the right of the master masons to
engage all the apprentices they can work,
that the walking delegate must be abol
ished and that the foreman must not be-
long to the union. Ali the workmen who
apply for employment and who pro-
TESS their willingness to submit to
the terms of the code will then be
put to work. The employers repudi-
ate the accusation that they are en-
gagged in a crusade against the
union. On the contrary they say
they are strongly in favor of well con-
Quoted unions. They freely admit the
wisdom of men combining for their pro-
lection and advancement, but they claim
that the union, by its arbitrary demands
and absurd proceedings, has become in
toIerable, and as the reformation which
it needs to make it beneficial to its mem
bers cannot be effected from within, they
propose to accomplish it. The bricklay
ers act as if the present situation to them
is very agreeable, and they are satisfied
with the prospect for the
future. They say word has been
received from the executive officers
OF the international organization an
nouncing that none of it's members would
come to Chicago to take the places of the
men locked out. A large number of men
left the city yesterday. They went to
Sycamore, H., to Omaha and Wichita,
Kan, where work had been secured for
them. A general lockout of carpenters
will be inaugurated by the Master Car
penters Association tomorrow night. The
master carpenters have determined to
support the masons.

Al IncenQlary P1re.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, May 1.-THE cred Ele-
plant" is the title of saloon and tene-
ment house on the east side of the plaza,
whereof G. Leito, one-srmed Italian, is
proprietor. The patrons and habitues
of the place are negroes and white peO-
pie of the lowest order. At l $50 o'clock
this morning an alarm of fire drew ont
the department, and in the cellar OF
LeitO's establishment pile of
dempened straw was discovered
burning slowly, because saturated
with coal oil, a tive-gallon can Of
which combustible stood near the straw.
The straw was too damp to burn rapidly,
which alone prevented the rapid spread
of the flames and the probable destruc-
ton of several valuable buildings
which are in the block. The suggestion
of fire bugs work was so strong that at
10 O'Clock this morning an Investigation
was commenced, which has been going
on before Justice Makeig ell day. The
testimony shows that Leito's stock and
fixtures in the saloon were worth probs-
bly, $500, while he has $1,000 insurance.
The barkeeper, Nicholas TOney, and two
or three other persons were in the saloon
when the alarm was given, but do not ap-
pear to have made any effort to extinguish
the fire.
The jury of inquest IN their verdict
found enough evidence against Joseph
Leito and NJ. Morte, proprietOrs of the
saloon, to cause them to be bound over
to wait the action of the grand jury, and
placed under a $500 bond eacn, which
was oiVeD
